About High West Yippee Ki-Yay
Inspired by Buffalo Bill, High West Yippee Ki-Yay is a special blend of rye whiskeys — a feisty two-year-old rye whiskey (composed of a mash of 95% rye and 5% barley) that was fermented with High West’s proprietary strain of yeast, together with a saddle-smooth 16-year-old rye whiskey (composed of a mash of 53% rye and 37% corn) — that has been finished in oak casks that previously held vermouth (Vya, from Madera, California) and syrah (Qupé from Santa Maria, CA).
As a result, High West Yippee Ki-Yay has a beautiful, ruby red color and a nose filled with cinnamon, creme de cassis, and herbs such as rosemary and sage. The palate shows sweeter notes of vanilla, caramel and blackberries, and leads to an exquisite finish complete with orange peel, mint chocolate and clover honey.
Previously available only at High West locations, Caskers has now secured an extremely limited quantity for our members.
